Location

History

Shiotsu Station opened on 15 December 1910 as a passenger-and-freight station on the Japanese Government Railways' Chūō Main Line, initially to carry construction material for the Ōno reservoir two kilometres to the north-west. Freight handling ended on 20 April 1960 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984. The station passed to JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987. Suica acceptance began on 18 November 2001 and the staffed Midori-no-Madoguchi office closed on 31 May 2009. Elevators and a multi-purpose toilet were installed on 29 March 2021, and a new station building was commissioned on 20 June 2022.

Notes

Comoa Shiotsu, a residential district north of the station, is reached from the station forecourt by the 'Comoa Bridge', a pair of inclined elevators together with an escalator.
